Hello all!
Thought Id introduce myself coz I expect I will be here alot as my previous gardening experience is killing several houseplant, including a spider plant!!
Ive recently regained control of my garden which I just ignored for about 10 years til it was basically just an enormous pyracantha. Im now trying something different, namely growing my own food!
I blame a mid life epiphany as it occurred to me the reason Ive never been on a successful diet in my life is that like alot of us I have no relationship with the food I eat. I would happily just shovel anything in without any thought at all.
I started home cooking seriously this year and have already lost nearly 2st so Im hoping that producing my own fruit and veg will make me even healthier and happier.
I dont have a lot to work with...just a small garden (10ft x 10ft patio and 10ft x 10ft dirt patch), plus a concrete alley. However I do have plans! 4 raised beds are already in postion and a couple of compost bins will be delivered soon. I am hoping to train cordon/espalier fruit trees along the fences with informal herb beds bordering underneath then something tasty in my beds! Also plenty of room on the patio for containers!
Wish me luck!!
